Hooking up a MAFT to stock intercooler piping

[bradcurtis15]

I am trying to hook up my GM maf into my stock intercooler piping.. And i am wondering how i would go upon that... Any help is appreciated thanks

Customer couplers to fit the stock piping or upgrade the piping. Best thing is to save up for a fmic and get the couplers that fit the maf and the fmic piping. Or check these out and bust out the measurements. http://www.extremepsi.com/store/home.php?cat=1535

all you need to do is get it properly couplered into the piping system where its inbetween the blow-off valve and the throttle body, of course it needs all the wiring and calibration magic done also, but as far as fittment goes. it needs to be placed inbetween your by-pass valve and the TB.

Yea but he's talking about installing it on a stock pipe which I think can be done but its too much of a headache. I would just find a used uicp in the classifieds. Just cut it to fit the gm maf.

well yeah, i know he is talking about using the stock piping. unfourtunetley i dont have a pic of a GM maf sensor installed in the factory piping because ive never had that done. if i coulda quickly whipped up a photo like that i woulda posted that.

my explanation seemed pretty straight forward to me? sensor needs to be couplered into the piping system in between the BOV and the TB. (gives a picture to visualize this with stock piping)

how hard could it be? go to the vibrant ordering sight and get the correct couplers. is this a 3" GM or a 3.5" GM? either way, vibrant or many other vendors will offer reducer type couplers that are 3 or 4 ply boost purpose built. easy to do man

I understand, but how would you clamp a silicone coupler to a stock rubber hose?

Thats why I mentioned the uicp.

The base of the 1G blow off valve is metal pipe that's plety long enough to coupler into directly behind the factory BOV, after that, it might take a lil clever engineering, buts way doable.

So after the easy part of couple off the factory metal BOV piece then he has GM sensor, then maybe a 2" round metal pipe about 3-4 inches long could be slid into both rubbers. This metal pipe insert would allow him to couple up the "after GM maf part" into his TB. I can picture this very easy in my head.

C'mon guy, what would McGuiver do?

He'd have the pheinox fondation fund his project!

Thats exactly what I had pictured In my head too, but the couplers are easy to fund in 3” or 3.5” depending what maf he has, to 2.5” fmic piping. The stock bov pipe I believe is 1.75”. So you would have alot of adapters/couplers to fit it, plus it will look too tacky, but thats his personal preference.
